You’re not short of things to do.
You’re short of things that stay with you.
OneStoryHigh curates intimate real-world gatherings around books, ideas, music, heritage, culture, and conversation for people who want more from their evenings, weekends, and the company they keep.
Because We Miss
Good conversation.
A place seen differently.
A book that turns personal.
A retreat worth taking.
Strangers who become friends.
What Happens Here
Off Grid – The Weekend Retreat
Short 2–3-day getaways. Each stay comes with guided reflection, digital minimalism, and curated experiences that leave you with fresh perspectives.
Lit Park – Book Circle
Ideas, authors, themes, and conversations that go beyond summaries. Each session, we pick up a book, pull out the big ideas, and talk about what it means for us right now.
Footnotes – Heritage / City Walk
Cities, ruins, streets, and stories you thought you already knew. Walk through places rich with history and meaning. Small groups, local storytellers, unhurried pace.
The Adda – Living Library
Guests become contributors. Personal reflections, recorded stories, music, storytelling, memory, and shared experiences build a unique repository of human experiences over time.
An Open Stage
Every story deserves to be heard.
OneStoryHigh partners with artists, writers, and creators living with disabilities or from underrepresented backgrounds … amplifying their creative work, talent, and their stories to a wider world.
We believe talent doesn’t come in one shape. And neither do the best stories. From showcasing their creations at our stays and gatherings, to featuring their work in our growing library of stories, we’re building OneStoryHigh as a space where underrepresented voices find reach, respect, and rightful recognition.
What People Have Said
“I came to The Adda not knowing what to expect. Two hours later I was still in the room, talking. What began as a session on personal identity turned into one of the most honest conversations, I have been part of. People spoke about family, language, labels, belonging, and the versions of themselves they carry in different spaces. Honest, open, sometimes uncertain. It was deeply human. The best evening, I have had in months. By the end of it, the room felt lighter, and I left the session with a new set of friends.”
Debraj Bhattacharjee, Delhi, after attending an The Adda session
“Footnotes changed how I see the city I’ve lived in for fifteen years. I joined the heritage walk expecting dates, facts, and a bit of history. It turned out to be something else entirely. I have travelled from Delhi to Faridabad for work many times and passed Tughlaqabad Fort more often than I can remember, without once stopping to think about what stood there. Walking through it changed that. Every broken wall, every open stretch, seemed to hold its own memory. I returned seeing that stretch of the city, and perhaps Delhi, differently.”
Pushpendra Chauhan, Delhi, after attending a Footnotes walk
“I came to the book reading circle expecting a polite conversation about books. Two hours later, nobody wanted to leave. We had moved from Wabi Sabi to Ikigai, from The Book of Tea to the quiet wisdom behind Japanese ways of living, and then to the way we chase perfection in our own lives. People were sharing passages, stories, and small personal reflections. It felt less like an event and more like finding thoughtful company in a noisy world. One of the most grounding evenings I have had in a long time.“

The Prologue
Articulation & Communication Workshop
There’s a kind of intelligence that doesn’t show up in exam scores. The kind that comes out in a well-told story, a clearly held argument, a room that listens when you speak. The Prologue is our structured program for college students … run inside colleges, built around storytelling, and designed to bring that intelligence forward.
